After a long drive, after the last colors of sunset have left the landscape, and after a hearty dinner, washed down with the perfect hazy IPA, with barely an hour twixt full darkness and Moonrise, may I be excused as I reach for the automated, for the programmed click of the shutter, twice a minute, that can be automatically assembled into a heavenly carousel of stars? What better way to celebrate a return to starry skies, what better way to visualize what the ancients believed was the diurnal motion of the Celestial Sphere around the Earth?
